Chapter 30 Saving ShisuiTsunade stood up, smoothed her messy hair with her hand, then scooped up Naruto and said, "Let's go, take me there quickly! I'm a bit sleepy after being busy all day."Naruto sighed, wrapped his arms around her neck, and instantly activated the Flying Thunder God, bringing her to the cave where Shisui was located.Seeing Shisui still lying there, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this place had indeed not been discovered by anyone else; at least for now, it was still safe.Tsunade put Naruto down and walked over to Shisui's side. She first performed some checks on him, then said, "Robin's talent is really quite impressive; she has already reached this level after learning from me for only a few years.""He is indeed no longer in any life-threatening danger. What remains is just waiting to see when he wakes up. I can only provide him with some follow-up treatment."As she spoke, a mass of blue Chakra appeared in Tsunade's hands, which she then slowly pressed onto Shisui's chest, beginning to treat him.Before long, Tsunade stopped and, standing up, said to Naruto, "Alright, barring any accidents, he should wake up in two or three days.""What do you plan to do with him after that? It's too dangerous to keep him by your side; I'm afraid Danzo will come knocking within a few days.""Even this place isn't somewhere you can stay for long. In his current state, even if he wakes up, he'll need to recover for a while. Someone will always have to take care of him, and that will sooner or later lead to the risk of exposure."Naruto thought for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Don't worry, I already have a plan. The Uchiha Clan must have already learned the news of Shisui's death, and this will be a huge blow to them.""In that case, their rebellion will be delayed by at least another year or two. We should take this opportunity to go out and travel for a while. However, there is one thing that must be done before leaving the Village."Tsunade asked in confusion upon hearing this, "Oh? What is it?"A slightly wicked smile appeared on Naruto's childish face, and he said, word for word, "Subdue Orochimaru!"Tsunade frowned slightly after hearing this, propped her chin in her hand, and said with a cute, naive demeanor, "Oh my, that's going to be a bit difficult!""Orochimaru is no simple character. Compared to Danzo, he is the one who is truly unpredictable. If he hadn't insisted on conducting research into forbidden techniques back then, the position of the Fourth Hokage might have been a different story.""Including our teacher, as well as Jiraiya and me, no matter how we tried to persuade him, we couldn't change Orochimaru. And in the end, he even betrayed the Village.""I'm very curious, how do you plan to subdue him?"Naruto replied, "Big sister, I told you to drink less alcohol; have you forgotten so quickly? We have Shisui's Sharingan in our hands! Didn't we just take it from Danzo?""As long as I transplant the Sharingan and activate Kotoamatsukami on him, Orochimaru will be at my disposal."Tsunade's furrowed brows finally relaxed after hearing this. She excitedly scooped up Naruto, planted a hard kiss on his forehead, and then pulled him into her arms, saying, "That's right! How did I not think of that! My little brother is truly clever!""Then we shouldn't delay. Let's set off to find Orochimaru tomorrow!""It's been way too boring in the Village these days. To maintain my image as 'Princess Tsunade,' I can't drink freely or go gamble. I'm about to go crazy from boredom."Naruto was nearly suffocating by this point and struggled to jump out of her arms. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "There's no need to rush. At the very least, we have to wait until Shisuiwakes up before we can set off. We can't just carry him out of the Village, can we? That would be far too conspicuous.""Besides, we don't need to go out of our way to find Orochimaru; he will come back. The arm Danzo just transplanted has been destroyed by us, so he will definitely seek out Orochimaru to perform surgery on him again.""We just need to wait for Orochimaru to return on his own, then we can make our move."Tsunade sighed, held her head again, and said, "Sigh, it seems we have to stay in the Village for a while longer."On the other side, by the time Itachi returned, the Uchiha Clan's annual clan meeting was about to end. After he appeared, Uchiha Fugaku frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "Itachi, why have you come so late? Don't you know the importance of today's meeting?""By the way, where is Shisui? Didn't he come over with you?"Facing his father's pressing questions, Itachi appeared very calm. He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and said in a very low voice, "Shisui... he probably won't be coming.""He just said goodbye to me. At that time, both of his eyes had already been taken. Afterward, he ignored my attempts to stop him and jumped off He Nan Mountain."This news shocked everyone present and also made them nervous. One must know that Shisui's strength was extremely formidable. Among their entire clan, apart from Fugaku, almost no one dared to claim they were on par with his power. He already vaguely held the title of the number one expert of the Uchiha, and he played a pivotal role in their rebellion plan.Now that he had actually been killed and had his eyes taken, this was undoubtedly a huge blow to them. The Uchiha clansmen present began to whisper and discuss among themselves.Finally, it was Fugaku who stopped the commotion. He coughed softly twice, and when the others heard this, they knew the clan leader had something to say, so they immediately fell silent and began to listen attentively to what the clan leader was about to say.After the scene became quiet, Fugaku asked, "Itachi, how did Shisui die? Did he tell you who did it?"Itachi still did not open his eyes, and two words stiffly popped out of his mouth: "Danzo!"Upon hearing this name, the scene fell into chaos once again, and Itachi finally opened his eyes. When the others saw his eyes, they were all shocked."W-what? Has Itachi awakened the Mangekyo? He is indeed the genius in our clan second only to Shisui!""It seems Shisui is truly dead; otherwise, Itachi wouldn't have suddenly awakened his eyes.""It seems the higher-ups in Konoha can no longer resist making the first move!""It's also good news! Although we have lost Shisui, we have gained Itachi. In this way, our strength won't drop too severely."The moment Fugaku saw that his son had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, a look of joy and surprise appeared on his face, but it quickly returned to calm, and then he began to scrutinize him with half-closed eyes.
